Kamaru Usman, the former UFC welterweight champion, has announced plans to retire only after achieving a remarkable milestone: claiming titles in two different weight divisions. The Nigerian-born fighter, known for his dominant reign in the welterweight category, is now focused on cementing his legacy by adding a middleweight belt to his collection.
After a series of challenging bouts, including losses that tested his position at the top, Usman has shown renewed determination. His recent performance against Joaquin Buckley demonstrated that he remains a force to be reckoned with in the octagon.
Usman’s strategy is straightforward but ambitious: reclaim the welterweight title he once held and then step up to challenge the reigning middleweight champion. Success in both divisions would place him among the elite few in UFC history to hold multiple belts simultaneously.
While the road ahead is daunting, with fierce competition in both divisions, Usman is committed to finishing his career on a high note. His ultimate goal is to retire as one of the sport’s most accomplished and respected fighters.
